February 2025

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Existing methods are devoted to developing various robust training strategies or regularizations to update the weights of the neural network. But beyond the weights, the overall structure and information flow in the network are explicitly determined by the neural architecture, which remains unexplored.

Applying amendments to contaminated soil has been considered a successful strategy to control lead (Pb) pollution. In this study, four different types of amendment (calcium hydrogen phosphate, CHP; hydroxyapatite, HA; ordinary Portland cement, OPC; lime, LI) at two treatment levels were used to immobilize Pb in three contaminated soils. The effectiveness of Pb immobilization was assessed by coupling a sequential extraction procedure (fraction) with in vivo mouse model (Pb relative bioavailability, Pb RBA) and in vitro gastrointestinal assays (bioaccessibility).

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the longitudinal patterns of central and general obesity, identify their genetic and behavioral risk determinants, and investigate the association of distinct obesity trajectories beyond middle age with subsequent cognitive decline and the risk of developing dementia in late life.

Methods: Using a nationally representative, longitudinal, community-based cohort, we examined trajectory patterns of obesity over a 14-year span beyond middle age employing latent mixture modeling. We then evaluated their relationship with subsequent cognitive decline through linear mixed models and with the risk of developing dementia using Cox models, adjusting for confounding variables.

To achieve the assembled connection between dovetail profiled steel sheets and the boundary members in dovetail profiled steel concrete composite shear walls (DPSCWs), self-tapping screws were employed. Three DPSCW specimens connected with self-tapping screws were tested under combined axial and cyclic lateral loads to evaluate their hysteretic response, focusing on the influence of the number of self-tapping screws and the axial compression ratio. The self-tapping screw-connected DPSCWs exhibited a mixed failure mode, characterized by shear failure of the profiled steel sheets and compression-bending failure of multiple wall limbs divided by ribs on the web concrete.
